I went down to Defong and spoke to Nicholas. He is a soft spoken and nice chap except that the quote that he gave us seems like not compact. A lot of hidden cost incurred when we asked him. In addition, he seems unprepared for the appointment. Does Kevin will be a better person for this ID company to speak to?

Thanks for sharing. Can bring it to CASE?

Nice White kitchen!!! -
I thought the bank loan with variable interest rate is pretty affordable now. But then, of course you need to refinance after that.

We went to about 15 units.

So soli for the late reply.

Perhaps every individual have different expectations and define responsible differently.

Any idea which bank offered better rate? I am thinking to refinance my condo. Have been with UOB for 2 years and past the lock in period.
I have zero idea on how to calculate the percentage that offered by bank.

Is this thread still active? I found the door in my common toilet has termite. I didn't know that it is so costly to get rid of those tiny animals. Please help... If there is the way to get rid of it by DIY method?

Another sharing session,
We have been looking and searching around for an ID. Initially, we cannot decide if we should get a contractor or an ID until one of my friend told me the problem that she faced when dealing with a contractor. Well, I am not saying every contractor will give a headache but I am more on visual person. I need to see drawing =)
I sent an email to few IDs and got few quotations, after we did some comparison, we shortlisted 2 IDs. One of them is The Living Arts. We met Thomas and we were comfortably sharing our idea and budget with him. However, we don’t want to commit ourselves since we hasn’t meet up with another company.
To shorten my story, we decided to sign on the dotted line with the Living Arts. The renovation started almost immediately and Thomas was quickly helping us to arrange his workers to come down do hacking and applying the permit with HDB.
Efficient, helpful, patience, and he give us genuine input when we came out with an idea. He will tell us if our idea is working or give us his advice on improving it. Our renovation is done on 03 Jul and he was kind enough to drop us a message telling us to call him if we find any problems with the house.
Alright, that is his personal traits. Now comes to his workmanships. He came with different group of workers, for hacking is Indian, tiles is Chinese, plumber is Malaysian. So far, except that the grouts in the toilet tiles that left yellowish, which they tried to apply the second layered. And the way they placed the wall tiles at the entrance to kitchen is off cantered. Other than that, personally, we are happy with their service and quality of work.
